CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE statement is
made here that Mr.. P. D. Armour, after
vanquishing the knights Of Labor in their
battle oyer the eight.hour day, hap thrown
down the gauntlet to the Bricklayers'
Union, and an enterprising struggle ia now
going on iniconsequence. Tho trouble
arose over Mr.. Armour's action In regard
to the bricklayers on some OF his stock
yards work. After engaging Chris Garry,
a member Of the Union, as bis foreman BY
the year, Mr.. Armour insisted on the men
working ten hours. Garry endeaYored to
enforce the order, when the rest of the
brioklayers struck, (Garrys case came be:
fore the Union at once and he was fined
500. WHICH he has refused to pay, at the
same time declining to appear and defend
himself. ~ RI, III
The brioklayers we're then called of all
the buildings in whose construction Mr.,
Armour was interested, except the Ar
mour Mission, which the union excepted
on account Of its character. SINCE then q
number Of bricklaye1s-just how many is
in question-haye been imported from the
country and put to work at ten hours.
These men are kept secluded, and all Of.
forts Of the union to reach them to call
them of the jobs have proven fruitless.
The walking delegate who made the final
attempt was arrested and taken to the
Town Hall, but was Immediately released,
as no charge would hold against him fer
merely being in the building. As the
union A4s withdrawn from the Trades AB.
senbly no help eau be gained from that
source, and the union finds itself power
less thus far. 80 r. e,.l h1sJ%L T.

hypocriticslly iuveiging against the other
